"At the center of every storm, there is an eye."
"The strong wind carries huge waves, which are overwhelming and majestic, but they always revolve around this eye. Correspondingly, the eye of the storm is also the calmest area in the entire storm."
"And now, we're in the middle of a storm."
Amber put her hands in her sleeves, squatted in front of a mouse cage in the corner, and murmured softly.
His voice was so low that Andrew Taylor, who was sitting next to him, didn't even hear what he said. The young master of the Taylor family picked his ears with his stubby fingers, leaned forward, and tried to
Then he brought his ears closer.
"What did you just say? What storm, what calm?" His voice was a bit loud, which attracted other people in the store to look at him.
Amber silently glanced at her captain without saying a word.
After the misunderstanding was resolved, Commissioner Andrew of the Three-pronged Sword did not stay long and quickly left. Meanwhile, the guests from the Ouroboros Hunting Team happily visited the small shop opened by the Forgivers.
Andrew went straight to the warehouse behind the store, saying he wanted to chat with the fish man; Julian asked Xiao Xiao about the procedures and procedures required to open a store. It seemed that he was also very interested in starting a small business on the pedestrian street;
There was Omega, chasing the cats in the store like a monkey, catching, releasing, catching, and releasing some more, causing a group of cats to run around behind him and frightening the mice in the cage.
Bewildered and screaming.
Only the fortune teller Amber had a quiet temper. She silently chose a corner and sat there, minding her own business.
When Zheng Qing was sitting at the counter, he couldn't help but take a few more glances at the fortune teller in yellow robes. Because the corner chosen by Amber happened to be the place where the mice in clothes had made holes before - although as those mice followed
After leaving temporarily, the deep mouse hole disappeared, but this did not mean that Zheng Qing could turn a blind eye to that corner.
Amber's choice made him more certain of this.
That fortune teller must know something, the young public-sponsored student thought. However, he did not directly come forward to ask. After all, in his impression, fortune tellers are all guys who like to chatter and talk sharply.
, you will definitely not get any good answers by asking directly.
Moreover, after the fish-man atmosphere inside and outside the store slowly disappeared, the originally sparse customer flow gradually recovered. He was still busy doing business.
…
Duke Milton Cullen is the third son of John Hugh Cullen, the legendary old patriarch of the Cullen family. He is less than 300 years old this year. In the vampire world, he is the kind of person who has a great future and is in his prime.
type.
Of course, from Duke Milton's point of view, he prefers newspapers to use adjectives such as young, promising, and suave when reporting news about him.
Especially the words romantic and suave.
She has a chic and elegant demeanor and is not bound by secular etiquette. Only with this image can she be worthy of being the most beautiful woman in the wizarding world.
Yes, he likes Su Shijun.
In the wizarding world, Milton Cullen's admiration for Su Shijun is well known. Although when he first met her, she was still a young girl, and he was already an uncle over two hundred years old, but this was
What's the relationship?
For wizards, time is the most precious, but also the least valuable - especially for immortal species such as vampires and zombies. Time seems to have no other effect besides making them more boring.
The age gap can be made up for by love!
In order to have more contact with the Qingqiu Su family and Su Shijun, Milton Cullen even went against his own wishes and accepted the title of duke from the clan; after hearing that Su Shijun had become the latest senator of the Yuexia Parliament, he
He also took out a bottle of out-of-print precious blood nicknamed 'The Maid of Orleans' from his own vault, and exchanged a chair with his second brother for a member of the Parliament under the Moon.
Just to get closer to her.
As for the gifts of three festivals and two birthdays, the blood servants also have to worry about the usual arrangements, so there is no need to go into details.
However, everything, as the news came out, made the young vampire completely heartbroken - Su Shijun had a child.
This news was even more disappointing than when he found out that Su Shijun had become a great wizard.
After all, being a great wizard is just a process, and he will eventually become a great wizard one day, it just depends on the length of time. But a child?! Whether it is a pregnancy out of wedlock or a low-key marriage, it means that the relationship between Su Shijun and him
The distance is getting farther and farther, until it becomes impossible to see.
When he heard the news, Milton was having a gentleman's duel with the Talbot wolf cub at the highest point of the Alps - although he did not think that the big, rough dog was a gentleman - and in
The day before the duel, he also discovered a beautiful cluster of viola in the foothills. He once thought that this flower that represented hope was a good sign.
Good omens, duels, senators, dukes, etc., all turned into jokes as the news spread.
As a well-educated gentleman, Milton will never show any behavior that damages the image of a noble under the moon. He still attends meetings of senators, hunting parties, and dinners with friends in his circle as usual.
.
But privately, this young vampire spent all the gold in his small vault in one night, just to buy a piece of information, who is that damn guy? Where is he now?!
Finally, a piece of news came out from the newly emerged Dark Council. His target was most likely a publicly funded first-year student at First University named Zheng Qing.
His Excellency the Duke was a little surprised, but more disappointed.
He wanted to see this damn guy more and more.
However, this is not an easy task.
As one of the three cores of the wizarding world, the First University is shrouded in a huge protective circle most of the time. Ordinary students only have the opportunity to leave the island once every winter and summer vacation. The rest of the time they are protected by the school in that big circle.
In the hood.
If people outside the school want to enter this protective circle, they must get an invitation letter issued by the school.
For the Cullen family, who have a chair in the House of Lords of Parliament next month, getting an invitation is a simple matter. For Milton, who has the status of a member of the House of Lords, the only obstacle is how he can
Enter the First University quietly without being tracked by the crazy media or stared at by some people.
In addition, when the public-funded student will leave school is also a very critical condition.
